The frame-type forging manipulator is typically used in conjunction with main equipment such as CNC forging hammers and large presses. Its core feature is a sturdy “gate” or “bridge” frame that straddles the main equipment and workbench. Using end-effectors such as clamps or suction cups, it enables the clamping, translation, flipping, and positioning of heavy, hot, and large forging blanks.
Customer Description:
This plant forges high-temperature alloy turbine disks for aircraft engines. The materials are expensive, and the process requirements are extremely high, requiring extremely strict control over forging temperature, deformation speed, and deformation volume.
Traditional Pain Points:
High Process Requirements: Instability in manual operation can lead to under-forging or over-forging, making it difficult to accurately replicate the optimal forging process, affecting the final product’s microstructure and mechanical properties.
High Temperature Sensitivity: High-temperature alloys have a narrow forging temperature window. Delays in manual handling and positioning can cause the forging surface temperature to drop, affecting formability and microstructure.
Strict Data Traceability Requirements: The aerospace industry requires data recording and traceability throughout the entire production process. Manual operation cannot provide accurate records of striking parameters and movements.
Solution after introducing a frame-type manipulator:
Proven optimal forging processes (such as upsetting speed, flip angle, and dwell time) are incorporated into the CNC programs of the manipulator and forging hammer, ensuring that every product undergoes an identical forging process, achieving consistent product quality that meets aviation-grade standards.
